U.S President Donald Trump AI-generated video showing a transformed Gaza Strip as a luxurious resort featuring his name has sparked worldwide controversy.
The video, which portrays the war-torn region as a lavish tourist destination, follows Trump’s recent remarks distancing himself from a plan to forcibly relocate Palestinians and place the area under U.S. control.
While the origin of the video remains unclear, it has been circulating across various social media platforms, including LinkedIn, X, and Instagram. Trump’s version was seemingly downloaded from Rumble, a Florida-based video platform that has gained popularity among conservative audiences.
The video’s release comes less than a week after Trump appeared to backtrack from his controversial proposal, leaving many to question his true stance on the issue. The surreal transformation of Gaza into an upscale getaway has been met with criticism from various quarters, particularly among Palestinians who view the video as a mockery of their suffering.
The reaction to the video was swift and harsh. Many saw it as a symbol of Trump’s continued disregard for the region’s complex realities, further fueling the condemnation that began when he unveiled his original proposal earlier this month.
Arab nations, similarly, had already rejected the plan, further isolating Trump on the international stage.
